So this ain't gonna last long (SD and my roomie)

he is younger, i thought you were going to say he was your same age.

24~>27 does make a difference

Of course, but like any matter, age is relative. Even with other 27 yo's I'm kind of an outcast with my lifestyle. It is disturbingly amazing how different your entire social life becomes when you don't engage in drinking.

Retarded, some might say

For moving in with this guy knowing he was like this? I would say they were spot on. I mean, WTF were you thinking? You are talking about the responsibility of running an office from your home with this asstard in tow?

WERE YOU HIGH?!

This isn't specific to you situation, but relevant.

First off, I have always lived with close friends, and its worked out great. I love having friends around that I can grab a meal with, watch a TV show or movie, or talk to about life in general. With strangers, you aren't guarenteed that.

My only negative roommate situation was when a friend moved out, and I found a random from craigslist.

Having said that, my current roommate situation, I found on craigslist, but after about 2 months, we were friends. Now after over 18 months, I'd say he's one of my closest friends. We are not the same age, he is 34, I am 30. But we are very similar. We are both neat. We keep all common areas immaculate. His room is a disaster and he never makes his bed, but my room is spick and span to the point that women call it "sterile." I don't like messes, I don't like shit left out, you'll never see dirty dishes anywhere, they belong in the dishwasher.

Also, I found that having ONE roommate is better than 2. With two, someone ends up doing far more work around the house than the other two combined, just how it seems to work out. Otherwise its a 2 on 1 and one dude ends up getting ganged up on. Never fun (ask rnch).

For your situation now, I'd lay down some ground rules about common area cleanliness, especially dishes, and basically let him do his own thing. He's got a different lifestyle, as long as he's not negatively impacting your's you should be ok.

Working from home out of the complex you live in is not something I would have suggested. Just too busy in general. Packed full of people who do not work during the day, noise levels could be high, thats more of a psuedo dorm that you live in.

Good luck though man. I wouldn't make any major decisions just yet though, get settled a bit.

Taking a friend as a room-mate is one sure way to ruin a friendship..

Props.

Nahhh. Not always. Lived with my best friend in college for two years and we never got into a single fight. She's still my best friend. Just moved in with a close friend here last week, we'll see how that works out

 

[calveless wonder]

dude i didn't know we lived together

 

[chewyxrage]

Gotta love those kids w/ lawsuit money. My buddy has a roommate that got $100k for cutting his hand on a soup can. Kid doesn't have a job, has 3 DUI's, and some guy came busting into their house one night because the guy fucked his girlfriend and beat the shit out of him (also wrecked shop on their place).

So guess you aren't too bad off

What are you gonna do? Did you sign a lease?

 

[KillahBee]

Chewy - it's not a do or die situation. At the end of this year we'll part ways, but still chill. Deep down he knows we shouldn't be living together.


Fuck, thjat sounded GAI
